About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark blue dress with a deep V-neck and short sleeves. She stands straight, one hand resting at her side, the other slightly forward. The dress has a slight A-line shape, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The background is plain, letting the figure stand out clearly. The drawing uses quick, loose lines to keep it light and sketchy. The artist signed it "CH" in the corner, and the word *Trotteur* is written at the top right.
